And it was that when Y'shua finished all these words, he said to his disciples:

You know that after two days the Passover happens, and the Son of man is handed over to be crucified.

Then the chief priests and the scribes and the elders of the people gathered to the courtyard of the high priest who is called Qayapa.

And they took counsel against Y'shua that they might seize him by deceit and kill him.

And they were saying, Not at the feast, so that there will not be an uproar among the people.

And when Y'shua was in Beth-Anya, in the house of Shimon the leper,

A woman came to him who had on her a flask of aromatic ointment of great price, and she poured it on the head of Y'shua as he was reclining.

But his disciples saw it and were displeased, and said: Why this waste?

For this might have been sold for much and given to the poor.

But Y'shua knew and said to them: Why are you troubling the woman? She has done a good deed toward me.

For you have the poor with you at all times; but you do not have me at all times.

But this act of pouring this ointment on my body she has done as for my burial.

Amen, I say to you that wherever this good news of mine is proclaimed in all the world, what she has done will also be told for a memorial of her.

Then one of the twelve, who is called Yehuda Skaryota, went to the chief priests,

and said to them, What do you want to give me, and I will deliver him to you? And they set for him thirty pieces of silver.

And from then on he was seeking an opportunity to deliver him.

Now on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Y'shua and said to him, Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?

And he said to them, Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, Our Master says, My time has come; I will keep the Passover with you with my disciples.

And his disciples did as Y'shua directed them, and made ready the Passover.

And when it was evening, he reclined with his twelve disciples.

And while they were eating, he said, Amen I say to you, that one of you will betray me.

And it troubled them greatly, and they began to say to him, each one of them, Is it I, my Master?

And he answered and said, The one who dips his hand with me in the dish, he will betray me.

And the Son of man goes as it is written of him. But woe to that man by whose hand the Son of man is betrayed. It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.

Yehuda the betrayer answered and said, Rabbi, is it I? Y'shua said to him, You have said.

And as they were eating, Y'shua took bread and blessed and broke it and gave to his disciples and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

And he took the cup and gave thanks and gave it to them and said, Take, drink from it, all of you.

This is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins.

But I say to you that from now on I will not drink from this fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.

And they sang praise and went out to the mountain of olives.

Then Y'shua said to them, You will all stumble because of me this night; for it is written, I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of his flock will be scattered.

But after I rise, I go before you to Galila.

Keefa answered and said to him: Even if everyone stumbles in you, I will never stumble in you.

Y'shua said to him: Amen I say to you, that in this night before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.

Keefa said to him: If it is for me to die with you, I will not deny you. And so also all the disciples said.

Then Y'shua came with them to a place called Gadsman, and he said to his disciples: Sit here while I go pray.

And he took Keefa and the two sons of Zawdi, and began to be grieved and distressed.

And he said to them, My soul is in anguish, even to death. Stay here for me, and keep watch with me.

And he went a little farther and fell on his face and was praying and said, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Yet not as I will, but as you.

And he came to his disciples and found them sleeping, and he said to Keefa, So, could you not keep watch with me one hour?

Wake up and pray, so that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit is ready, but the body is weak.

Again he went a second time and prayed and said, My Father, if this cup cannot pass except I drink it, your will be done.

And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

And he left them and went again and prayed a third time, and said the same word.

Then he came to his disciples and said to them, Sleep on now, and rest. Look, the hour has come, and the Son of man is handed over into the hands of sinners.

Rise, let us go. Look, he who hands me over has come.

And while he was still speaking, look, Yehuda the betrayer, one of the twelve, came, and a great crowd with him with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

And Yehuda the betrayer had given them a sign, and said to them: The one I kiss is he; seize him.

And at once he came near to Y'shua and said, Peace, Rabbi, and kissed him.

But Y'shua said to him: My friend, is it for this you have come? Then they came near and laid their hands on Y'shua and seized him.

And one of those with Y'shua stretched out his hand and drew a sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.

Then Y'shua said to him: Put the sword back in its place, for all who take up a sword will die by a sword.

Or do you think that I cannot ask my Father, and he would raise up for me now more than twelve legions of messengers?

How then would the writings be fulfilled, that it must be this way?

At that hour Y'shua said to the crowd: Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? Every day I sat with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me.

But this happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him and fled.

And those who had seized Y'shua led him to Qayapa the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

But Shimon Keefa was going after him from a distance as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and he went in and sat inside with the guards to see the end.

Now the chief priests and the elders and the whole assembly were seeking witnesses against Y'shua so that they might put him to death,

and they did not find any. And many false witnesses came, but afterward two came forward

and said, This one said, I am able to tear down the temple of Elohim and in three days build it.

And the high priest rose and said to him, Do you answer nothing? What are these testifying against you?

But Y'shua was silent. And the high priest answered and said to him: I adjure you by the living Elohim, that you tell us if you are the Mashiyach, the Son of Elohim.

Y'shua said to him: You have said. But I say to you that from now you will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

Then the high priest tore his clothes and said: See, he has blasphemed! Why then do we still need witnesses? See, now you have heard his blasphemy.

What do you want? They answered and said: He is liable to death.

Then they spit in his face and were buffeting him, and others were striking him,

and saying: Prophesy to us, Mashiyach, who is it that struck you?

But Keefa was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a certain maid approached him and said to him: You also were with Y'shua the Natsraya.

But he denied it before them all, and said: I do not know what you are saying.

And when he went out to the porch, another maid saw him and said to them: This one also was there with Y'shua the Natsraya.

And again he denied with an oath: I do not know the man.

But a little after, those standing there came up and said to Keefa: Truly you also are one of them, for your speech also makes you known.

Then he began to curse and to swear: I do not know the man. And in that hour the rooster crowed.

And Keefa remembered the word of Y'shua that he said to him: Before the rooster crows, three times you will deny me. And he went outside and wept bitterly.
